We're currently working on automating Tor relay and bridge deployment using Ansible scripts [ https://github.com/ansible/ansible ]. All it needs is SSH access, everything else will be pulled in and configured using Ansible. This should then work for all 'cloud providers' (or old-style VPS), and in my eyes is a more sustainable and decentralized way of doing "Tor cloud". Another component that we work on at the moment is a homebrewed Python monitoring software for relays, which in the long term could be a nice feature to have apart from the generic traffic stats you get from Amazon. We will have a first report end of this month with the specs, hopefully attracting more people to join the fun. Hannes, Daniel, Christian, feel free to share what you're doing with this list. :-) -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/ _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
